A federal appeals court largely rejected Starbucks’ appeal of a National Labor Relations Board finding that the coffee chain illegally fired two Philadelphia baristas for wanting to organize a union. Starbucks lacked standing to challenge NLRB judges’ constitutionality, a possible setback for companies seeking to limit the agency’s powers. The court found evidence supporting unfair labor practices by Starbucks, rejecting claims of improper recordings and excessive expenses. Starbucks fired the baristas for poor performance and spreading rumors. Workers nationwide are campaigning to unionize amidst accusations of unfair labor practices.
